Sigmund's Birthday Surprise [antikvár]

The birds were singing and the early morning sunshine was glinting through the trees, as Mr Periwinkle the Postman came driving along the lane in his post van. Normally Mr Periwinkle did his rounds on his bicycle, but this morning he had an especially large birthday present to deliver to Sigmund Swamp. It was a long wooden crate, and rather strange snorting noises were coming out of it! The crate was very heavy and Sigmund had to help Mr Periwinkle to carry it into the house. "It says, 'From Uncle Oscar to Sigmund on his birthday' ", said Sigmund, reading the label. "I wonder what it can be."
